Yesterday X started rolling out a new About This Account feature, which included what country the account was created from and what country the account is "based" in (which is different from "connected via"). Head of product at X, Nikita Bier, was quick to say that there were " a few rough edges," but promised they'd be resolved by Tuesday.
Known for his dire warnings of crashes and recessions, Burry goes by "Cassandra" on X - a reference to the priestess from Greek mythology who was cursed to speak true prophecies but never to be believed. He burst back onto X in late October after more than two years of silence, and wasted no time firing off several warnings about a dangerous bubble in AI stocks.
We think of it not necessarily just as a problem, but an opportunity as well. How do we allow young people to build, communicate and hang out together? How do we build the future of communication at the same time? So we, you know, we've been, I think in a good way, working on this ever since we started. And when we were--this was almost 18 or 19 years ago--when we first launched the company and we had just four of us sitting in a room, we were literally the moderators, like we would rotate all the time.

It was really easy getting Google's Gemini app to make an image of a second shooter at Dealey Plaza, the White House ablaze, and Mickey Mouse flying a plane into the Twin Towers. We asked and it complied. There were few filters or guardrails, another sign that the battle over generative AI content moderation and copyright enforcement is not even close to being over.
It's never been easier to ditch Google search. Just ask Mohamed Mura, a 37-year-old professional based in London, who began pulling back from the search engine during the pandemic. Instead of typing into Google, he turned to TikTok for questions like "how to change a watch band." With the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, Mura's Google usage dropped further. He said the AI chatbot felt like a "second brain or agent" he could bounce ideas off of.
Recent friendly overtures aside, India does not always see eye to eye with China. But when it comes to the battle for eyeballs, the country's entertainment industry has taken a leaf out of the Chinese playbook. Micro-dramas, or 90 seconds to two-minute videos, loaded with hooks and wild plots, surpassed box office collections in China last year, building a near $7 billion industry, and the Chinese trend has made its way into India.
It feels like Microsoft is blindly racing toward another Windows 8 situation. Windows 8 was arguably the most divisive release of Windows in its 40-year history, as Microsoft attempted to overhaul the operating system for a touch-first future. Spooked by the iPad, the company shipped a radical overhaul that ditched the familiar Start menu and left users frustrated and confused. They weren't quite ready for the future that Microsoft envisioned.
Internet delivered through fixed wireless access (FWA) may account for a majority of traffic on the nation's biggest mobile networks, but analysts say revenue from these subscriptions makes up a tiny percentage of revenues. FWA makes up around 6% of revenues at T-Mobile and around 3% of revenues at Verizon, according to the new report from the analysts at MoffettNathanson Research. Nevertheless, FWA may use more than half of all traffic on the Verizon network and more than two-thirds of traffic on the T-Mobile network (including traffic from mobile virtual network operators).
Following a week of major AI programming announcements from Microsoft and Google, OpenAI has joined in the fun. Today, OpenAI is announcing a new version of Codex, its programming-focused AI model. While the announcement was today, the actual GPT-5.1-Codex-Max capability will be available tomorrow in Codex for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, and Enterprise users. API access is "coming soon." OpenAI says the new Max model "replaces GPT-5.1-Codex as the recommended model for agentic coding tasks in Codex and Codex-like environments."
Does this sound like the System Restore feature that has long been part of Windows? That's because it's built on the same technology. In this case, the point-in-time restore option takes snapshots of Windows at different points. If Windows glitches, then the feature can automatically restore it to any of those previous points in time. Using this method, you can not only recover Windows and all the installed applications and customized settings, but also any personal files stored on the user's PC.
Samsung Display had an ongoing three-year legal battle against BOE over trade secrets theft and patent infringements related to OLED tech, and according to a new report from Yonhap News, the two sides have settled their dispute. According to the report, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) issued an official statement confirming that the case has been suspended. While details of the withdrawal were not disclosed,
Now, when users search for places in Maps like restaurants, hotels, or concert venues, they'll see a new "know before you go" tips section that will surface important information about the place. For instance, it might tell users the best way to book a reservation, what secret menu items are, what the best place to park is, and more. Users can click on each tip to get more information.

This is not even a question of complex containerisation orchestration techniques driving multi-cloud servers powering parallelised concurrency threads into some form of esoteric abstracted computing layer. So then, just how deep is the technology innovation going on here? In fact, this is light-based photonics now evolving to create optical quantum computers and the next era of NTT's own development that it channels to its Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN) Initiative, including its application to optical quantum computing.
